Texas DPS ending in-office reinstatement services

Texas is trying to cut down on waiting times at the Department of Public Safety Office by making those who want to reinstate their driver’s license or receive their driver record submit their paperwork online or via federal mail.

The state’s DPS offices will no longer provide reinstatement and driving record services beginning Oct. 29 and Oct. 30.

Driver’s licenses can be suspended and require reinstatement following DWI’s, driving without liability insurance or failure to pay child support.

Those who want to have their licenses renewed rather than reinstated can still do so at DPS offices or online.
